Thank you rifleman and Beachead for your warm comments about my build...
finished all stations for rocket launchers and 102 mm guns. Each section is support by so many gussets but somehow I finished this boring part...Started also filling up main deck with small details....I guess this is my last post in this year. I wish all of you Merry Christmas and Happy new year... See you all next year

Cheers ...

Outstanding stuff there Tom, it's really starting to take shape now. All the best to you and your family for Christmas and the new year, looking forward to seeing more of this build next year.

Incredible model, detail is on a whole other level. Clearly your eyeballs are better than mine.

Superb work - this is such a nice model!

And remember that all those "boring" bits are the bits that make the model - and everyone will also stare at and admire in the end!

Welcome everyone in new year

I hope all of you are back to modelling :P

Here are my first builds in 2020 two Pom Poms and 8 small gear boxes each of them contains 11 parts

Thank you so much for your nice comment and just calling some elements boring but still like to make them

Yeah, those "boring bits" really do make the model. The only ship I've built so far was a relatively simple model but I added to it with lots of scratch built "boring bits" that were very tedious to make. Looking back at that model now, I'm so glad I persisted as it really paid off bigtime, the model still blows people away when they realise it's paper.

Nothing like the level of detail you're achieving here though, those pompoms look amazing, top job!
